My thai gf is obsessed with her mobile phone and its annoying me

[sirchai]

Could you show her something that's one way the other, more important? Do you really communicate with each other?

Blame the phone.....-

There is one absolutely guaranteed way to retaliate. When she pulls out the phone, you pull out the newspaper. Works a treat.

Like she would even notice alt=biggrin.png>

She would notice if he hit her on the nose with it !

Mine gets engrossed in her phone too. Gets annoying when I need her to speak Thai for me and she wants to finish her game.

Buy a mobile phone jammer.

Worked for me. I was annoyed by the wife constantly calling over dinner and the niece facebooking on her i-thing. Now all is quiet when we eat, and we can talk ....

Easier to buy a jammer than trying to discuss the issue.

Likewise, but it's not exclusive to just my wife, it's my entire in-laws that are engrossed with Candy Crush in particular. But at least they want me to be included and continually ask to download and start playing too hahaha...

But it would be an exceptionally cold day in hell before that was to happen

When I'm not feeling the love, I've since countered the lack of attention by downloading GTA on my iPad, kick arse graphics and sound soon turns the tables...

The diabolical candy crush... The GF is on level 283 she informs me...she also wanted me to download...that way I can give her extra lives to play...

It usually only happens when the guy isn't interesting enough and there are not many common interests. That is what you get if you go for looks only.

Well, my wife is pretty obsessed with her iPhone (and iPad and MacAir ) .... but really it's about Skype, YM, Whatsap, Tango, Viber, YouTube, Google, a great camera and other exciting apps all at her fingertips rather than an obsession with the device. After being together day and night for nearly 10 years, there's not too much to talk about. I don't have any problems with that. Having a good relationship doesn't necessarily mean having exciting conversations all the time. I don't believe having common interests is all that important in relationships either. I'm not concerned she's not into gym, for example.

Your wife works a job and is out of the house much of the time, so it's more important for you to have high quality time together when she gets home and if she was on the phone all the time it would likely be a problem.

When I want to chat with my wife I just ask her to put down the phone.

The OP is incorrect by assuming that it's an obsession with the phone - it's about having a hi-tech communication device which provides easy contact with all her Thai friends..... I'm sure a Thai girl will feel quite isolated if spending all her time talking with her foreign husband.... she needs Thai social contact and the phone provides this. Having a relationship with a girl who speaks a different language from a totally different culture could be very isolating for her if you are not understanding.

Like she would even notice

Like she'd even care - or more to the point, she would prefer he read the newspaper so he can stop bugging her....

Do people still read newspapers these days?

I think it's all about having a toy in their hands to play with,

and the trend is that they are craving for bigger and bigger toys by the year...

aha, my advice 8is need3ed here obviously. Ultimatum

[boomerangutang]

Yet another reason why I steer from getting another Thai g.f.

If I was 18 years old, I might try getting a Russian g.f. There's a 17 yr. old gal I met (am friends with her Russian mom), who told me she doesn't have email and doesn't care a whit about Facebook. I told her 'yea, baby!' (picture Austin Powers, with his toothy smile)

" Its just hard because I know that I'm a perfect person and all that..."

You can't be too perfect or she would be jealous and put down her phone once in a while......

The OP took a bit of a warranted beating and never came back.

Beta males always seem to struggle in Thailand.

But they make me smile with the situations they get themselves into.

I do find them entertaining.

Did the OP ever reply to this thread?

Or did he get too many honest answers?
